  • Donald Trump sparked new health concerns after his second Coronavirus conference
  • The POTUS gasped for breath during his speech
  • Donald Trump looked sick and exhausted while addressing the deadly virus

Donald Trump sparked new health concerns this week after he was seen gasping for breath and looking exhausted during a coronavirus conference.

Journalist Aaron Rupar uploaded a video of the POTUS addressing the deadly virus but he surprisingly rambled about ISIS.

In the clip, the president of the United States speaks very calmly and slowly. His deep breaths could also be heard since he’s speaking right in front of two microphones.

At some point, Trump also struggles to make out certain words. The POTUS also has an almost sick-looking appearance because he’s not his usual hyper self. As such, eagle-eyed netizens couldn’t help but wonder what’s wrong with Trump’s health.

“Trump sounds sedated, he is breathing hard, slurring and talking about Afghanistan and the military. I thought this was supposed to be about Coronavirus. What the hell is happening?” Twitter user @tify330 said.

“Is he on drugs because he sounds drugged…” Twitter user @teri_atthepaper said.

“Trump sounds drunk… breathless… slurring… rambling at the podium about Endless War… what the [expletive] is this? This was supposed to be a presser on health issues… #UNFIT…” Twitter user @watergatesummer said.

“Sniff, sniff. Man, Trump sounds terrible and is gasping for breath,” Twitter user @hiking2colorado said.

Political Flare also lambasted Trump for being out of breath while speaking about such an important issue. The publication also criticized the president for going off-topic and for looking as though he was high due to drugs.

“We cannot know from our position if only someone would check, and explain to us the quick trip to the hospital months ago, and explain this back and forth between appearing sedated, and appearing ‘up,’” journalist Jason Miciak said.

The journalist also challenged anyone that knows what’s really going on with the POTUS to come forward.

“‘Gasping’ is the right word, and the nation does deserve some answers because we’re going into a critical period for OUR health and the nation’s economy,” he said.
